EdCamp Toronto is an exciting new approach to professional dialogue and learning. This unconference is dedicated to expanding and extending our conversations about schooling and education in the 21st century. EdCamp Toronto is a participant-driven event. We value and rely on the expertise, experiences and enthusiasm of all those who register
Who is invited to EdCamp Toronto?
EdCamp Toronto is open to anyone with an interest in K-12 education: teachers, administrators, parents, community members. We believe that education is enriched and strengthened when all voices are invited into the conversation
What is the Conference Fee for EdCamp Toronto?
$0-$10.We are committed to making EdCamp Toronto happen with minimal or no cost to participants. With no high-priced keynotes, no elaborate conference centres, glossy brochures or fancy lunches, we are dedicated to minimizing costs and making your conversations and contributions the most valuable element of the day!
How will the day be organized?
EdCamp Toronto will offer participants the opportunity to participate in approximately four (4) different sessions throughout the day. The unconference design of the day means that we really won’t know what sessions are available until participants arrive with their topics and questions. This model has been tried and tested in other cities across North America. The process works, and the day will run smoothly!
Who will be presenting at EdCamp Toronto?
You will!Ideally, all participants come with a topic, a question, or something to present to the group. This helps create the dynamic energy that is part of the unconference approach. A democratic process helps decide the final agenda, with the most popular and engaging topics forming the final agenda.Seriously, you are allowed to come and just be part of the day, but a big part of the learning comes from being as active in the process as possible.
